WHITE BEAN DIP



My friends and I were talking about how nice cannellini beans, garlic and lemon juice would taste as a dip just yesterday afternoon and I raced home after work today to make it. It is a very refreshing change from the copious amounts of homemade hummus and guacamole that I make. You could also try it with lemon zest or other herbs besides chives, such as parsley or basil. 

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 x 400g tin cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 3/4 tablespoon tahini 
  • the juice of 1 medium lemon 
  • 2 medium garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped, plus extra to serve 
  •  a pinch of sea salt & ground black pepper
  • 2 large carrots, peeled & cut into sticks 

PREPARATION / COOKING

1. Place all the ingredients except for the carrot in a food processor or blender and blitz on high until well combined. Add a splash of water at a time if need be. Serve with carrots. 

Makes / 1 cup of dip
Total Preparation time / 8-10 minutes
